Fortress Canyon - Leura - Blue Mountains - 4K

Fortress Canyon in an easy and popular canyon located in the upper Blue Mountains of NSW.
There are a number of fun sections to this canyon, lots of pretty creek walking, easy 2-3mtr jumps, with plenty of stunning, narrow canyon sections, with cold swims to get to the final 6mtr jump, or, easy abseil.
This jump should always be checked first as the depth of the water is usually only 2mtrs deep and there are rocks, so correct spot to aim for is important.
The end of the canyon overlooks the Grose Valley at the top of Fortress Falls, an iconic spot for Instagrammers because of the small deep pools right on the edge of the falls.

Amazing !

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

It sure is! It's such a beautiful canyon, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jeffyablon6673]

What an a amazing walk and swim. You must be one of the few rare people ever to explore that trail. Thanks for recording it for us.

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It is a really great canyon! Some of the swims were very cold as not much sunlight reaches many of the canyon sections.

Thats the way to do it get away from the walking tracks and enjoy what others miss. I did a similar down a small stream with my brother in Vanuatu in 1995 and really enjoyed it. One day I might get to do your same walk. Take Care. Ian

Not a fan of crowds, it was tough filming the Grand Cliff Top Walk with just so many people. Give us the peace and solitude of the bush or a canyon anyway.

[@TheHolidayHunter]

This is a stunning location and well filmed

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

Yes it is! Was such a fun canyon to do! Glad you enjoyed this one, hope you are also enjoying some of the other canyons we've filmed too!

@@shoesonmyfeet6056 I love exploring the Blue Mountains and you have given me great ideas for my KZbin Channel. Maybe one day, we can do a combined video. I have watched many of your videos and cheers

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

Glad we have inspired you, we are shooting a number of videos this weekend. Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed it, you might like some of our other videos as well...

Most people do not know what's to the northern side of the Highway, with the exception of Govett's Leap and Evan's Lookout. I'm now too old to venture off a made path, but glad to see someone enjoying this.

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

There sure is so much to explore! I am constantly amazed by such places as this gem. I am truly grateful to be able to see and explore them. I'm so glad to be able to share such places with you and maybe give you a chance to relive younger days vicariously through these videos.

[@doubledee9675]

@@shoesonmyfeet6056 Thanks and please keep them coming. As you will readily understand, you young whippersnappers have life easy!

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

I'm really looking forward to creating more videos. It's great to be able to show off an adventure in detail so people can choose for themselves how suitable it is for them, while still leaving an element of discovery should they go. I definitely have many more locations to visit and showcase while I'm able 😊

[@SafderAli-eu4me]

Thanks for sharing this video how we can get there

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

You would use the Fortress Ridge trail off Mt Hay Rd at Leura.

[@chris-tq5ly]

Really been enjoying your videos! Thanks so much for sharing! Is this one suitable for absolute beginner or is there one you’d suggest? Thanks

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

This is a wild canyon the way we did it, you can walk to the exit that flows over the cliff, but that is a moderate to hard level walk. You need to have scrambling experience for sure.

[@paulandkarenwatters9719]

No drawn out intro, no adds, great scenery, great video. What more could anyone ask for.👍👍👍👍👍

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

Thanks, glad you liked it, that was an early video and I believe we continue to evolve as video makers. We do try to show the "journey" and not just the destination.

[@rossjamieson2681]

Beautiful video. Nice to see you treating the canyon respectfully and safely. Jumping the abseil is just nuts and I’m amazed more people don’t go over the edge at the little pools. Great day 👍🏻

[@shoesonmyfeet6056]

Thanks for your comments. This is a beautiful area that is now being overrun by people who don't treat the area with respect, which saddens me.
